  • Title: A comparative clinical trial of graduated compression stockings and O-(beta-hydroxyethyl)-rutosides (HR) in the treatment of patients with chronic venous insufficiency.
    Author: Neumann HA, van den Broek MJ.
    Journal: Z Lymphol; 1995 Aug; 19(1):8-11. PubMed ID: 7571793.
    Abstract:
    As overall conclusions from this study, and the two preceding comparable trials in which TcPO2 was measured in patients with (8) and without (7) stockings, we propose that: All patients with symptoms and oedema of CVI should be advised to wear suitable compressive stockings (this study); if they do wear stockings, then additional benefit may be derived from treatment with HR (8); for patients who are reluctant to wear stockings, for a variety of reasons, or in whom stockings may be contraindicated (e.g. mixed arterio-venous disease), then HR is an acceptable alternative (7 and this study).
